KEY EVENTS

What an incredible game - the highest-scoring so far - in which Belgium showed their quality and attacking prowess, and could easily have scored more! Hazard and Lukaku grabbed two apiece, before substitute Batshuayi eventually made it five, although he could have had four to himself! Tunisia hit two of their won through Bronn and Khazri, leaving question marks over Belgium's defending, but were simply overrun by the superior quality of their opponents. It finishes 5-2 to Belgium in one of the most entertaining games of the tournament!

14:5690+2 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

MISS! Batshuayi charges at goal, and has Tielemans in support, but he ignores the run of his team-mate and tries to lash a shot in on his left foot after working a yard, but he drags it wide! Tielemans is not happy, having assisted the striker just minutes earlier.

14:5890+3 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

GOAL! TUNISIA MAKE IT 5-2! Out of nowhere again, Nagguez bombs forward from right-back and cuts the ball back towards Khazri, who guides the ball into the far corner on the swivel. Lax defending from Belgium though, as Carrasco has switched off and the back three were all static. They felt the game was over and done with.

14:5990+3 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Nagguez, who came on for the goalscorer Bronn, grabs an assist for the man who created the first, cutting the ball back well from the byline.

14:5390 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

GOAL! IT'S 5-1 NOW! Batshuayi finally gets his goal! Tielemans puts in an absolute peach of a ball from the right that the striker throws himself at, turning the ball into the corner with his left foot!

14:5490 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Tielemans' pass was inch-perfect, and Batshuayi, who had timed his run well, finally matched his movement up with a finish!

14:5189 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Tielemans takes a corner deep to the edge of the box, but it's hooked away by a defender and the danger was minimal.

14:5088 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Belgium are playing the ball around comfortably now, under minimal pressure from Tunisia. Can either side grab one last goal here?

14:4986 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Impressive youngster Tielemans, who plies his trade at Monaco, replaces Mertens in Belgium's final change. He will play just in front of Witsel and Fellaini, leaving De Bruyne in support of Batshuayi.

14:4785 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Meunier tries to loft the ball forward for Batshuayi , but it's a little too heavy and it runs out for a goal-kick.

14:4583 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

The Dortmund striker, on loan from Chelsea, is cutting a very frustrated figure out here. He could easily have had a hat-trick, but he's still yet to find the back of the net.

14:4481 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

SAVE! Batshuayi simply cannot score! De Bruyne does excellently down the left, beating his man and crossing superbly for Batshuayi, whose powerful, left-footed volley from inside the box is kept out by Ben Mustapha!

14:4280 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

CROSSBAR! How has Batshuayi not scored?! Carrasco cuts inside from the left and lashes a powerful shot at goal that Ben Mustapha fumbles, but Batshuayi, latching onto the loose ball, somehow rattles it off the crossbar and out from six yards!!

14:4077 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Khaoui is down with cramp as Tunisian legs begin to tire. They've worked hard today, but to no avail.

14:4076 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

OFF THE LINE! Batshuayi finally gets onto a Mertens through-ball ahead of Ben Mustapha, rounding him and bobbling a strike at an open goal, but Meriah shows incredible desire to get back and clear it off the line! Batshuayi had to score there though.

14:3775 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

SAVE! Ben Mustapha charges out of his box to deal with a pass in behind for Batshuayi, and has to be careful not to use his hands as he slides to intercept, using his chest instead!

14:3674 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Mertens is flagged for offside after the ball is won high up the field. He was in a good position there.

14:3572 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Vertonghen is holding his head after a clash when competing for a bll into the box, and is taken to the sidelines for a quick check. He looks as though he will be okay to continue though.

14:3371 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Mertens plays the ball over the top for Batshuayi to chase in behind, but the flag goes up for offside. That was a tight call.

14:3270 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Khaoui sees Khazri's free-kick headed out to him, but flashes a wild effort high over the bar on the volley.

14:3169 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Carrasco comes in off the left and tries to slip it through for Mertens, but the keeper is out quickly to collect.

14:3168 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Hazard, like Lukaku, perhaps would have wanted his hat-trick, but is sensibly replaced by Martinez, with Batshuayi coming on in his stead.

14:2967 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Badri shows quick feet to work a yard of space and tries to thump a strike in, but Courtois show good reflexes to get across and hold the shot.

14:2865 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Khazri takes a short corner and receives it back immediately, before trying an ambitious effort from the edge of the box that is blocked away. Sliti then tries one from 18 yards, but Alderweireld is across to block it.

14:2663 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Hazard, looking for his hat-trick no doubt, balloons an effort high over the bar from outside the box. Not his best effort this game.

14:2560 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

CHANCE! Khazri leaves the ball with a clever dummy for Badri, but his shot is blocked from inside the box! Tunisia aren't done yet!

14:24

14:2461 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

MISS! Carrasco works some space beautifully, cutting inside onto his favoured right foot and unleashing a wicked, curling effort towards the top corner, but it's just over the top!

14:2359 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Sassi, who scored the penalty against England, is replaced by winger Sliti in Tunisia's final change.

14:2259 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Lukaku may be a little disappointed to be coming off without a hat-trick, but Martinez clearly wants to take no risks with his star striker, who had to be treated for what looked like an ankle injury in the first half. Fellaini replaces him, slotting into midfield alongside Witsel and allowing De Bruyne further forward to support Hazard and Mertens.

14:2057 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Carrasco is played through neatly on the left, but he tries to cut back instead of shooting and his pass is blocked!

14:1955 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

MISS! Sassi spots Courtois off his line and tries a cheeky lob on the half-volley, but it sails wide! That was a decent effort by the midfielder though.

14:1854 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Fakhreddine Ben Youssef tangles with Vertonghen on the touchline, and has his elbow in the air. He seems to be losing his cool a bit, and is perhaps lucky to escape a booking.

Sensational from Hazard

What a goal from Eden Hazard.

De Bruyne’s pass is excellent and picks out the Chelsea star.

He controls the ball with a fine first touch and beats the keeper with his second, before slotting into an empty net.

Belgium are looking good!

14:1451 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

GOAL!!!!! IT'S NOW 4-1! Hazard grabs his second in style, chesting down from a long ball as his run split the two centre-halves, before poking round the onrushing goalkeeper and firing into an empty net!! Great compsure there from Hazard.

14:1651 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Alderweireld's raking pass from the back found Hazard's splitting pass perfectly, and the forward kept his balance to fire coolly home!

14:1350 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

SAVE! Tunisia have started strongly in this half as Badri works some space off the left and drills a low effort at goal that Courtois holds well.

14:1149 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

CHANCE! Khazri stretches to reach a cross from the left, but it's a little high and he can't direct it towards the target! The flag is up for offside, anyway.

14:0947 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

MISS! Belgium work a short corner well and De Bruyne fizzes a ball in towards the near post, but Alderweireld spoons his effort over the bar!

14:0746 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Tunisia get the ball rolling for this second half!

14:01

Tunisia lost two men to injury in that first half, and with just one substitute left, they may find that tiring legs struggle in the latter stages of the second half. Belgium, however, simply need to maintain their level of quality and could find themselves racking up a few more here, and may look to send out a statement of intent going forward.

13:58

What a half! Belgium were 2-0 up after just 16 minutes following a Hazard penalty and an emphatic Lukaku strike, but Tunisia got themselves back into the game out of nowhere just two minutes later, with Bronn glancing Khazri's superb free-kick into the net with his side's first shot of the game! Chances were plentiful as both sides showed positivity in an open encounter, and Lukaku struck again on the stroke of half-time, lifting the ball over the goalkeeper from close range to restore his side's two-goal advantage.

13:53

Will England top the group?

Belgium have been in stunning form here.

And all eyes will be on their showdown with England in the final group game.

The Three Lions must of course beat Panama tomorrow but Betfair price them at 5/2 to top the group.

Meunier, a right-back, drifted into the middle and produced a pass worthy of any attacking midfield player for Lukaku, who had made a brilliant run in behind the back-line and dinked the ball into the net superbly!

13:5045+3 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

GOAL!!! LUKAKU MAKES IT 3-1! Right on the stroke of half-time, Lukaku gets his second! De Bruyne drifted out to the right and linked up well with Meunier, who drifted into the middle and slipped an inch-perfect through-ball for Lukaku to run onto and clip over the onrushing goalkeeper! Great finish!

13:4945+3 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

CHANCE! Massive chance for Lukaku! Meunier makes an excellent interception on the edge of his box and finds Hazard with superb composure. The Chelsea star drives forward at great pace and finds De Bruyne, who fizzes a ball into the box that is just inches away from Lukaku!

13:47

13:4745+1 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

For the first time in the game, both sides seem to be taking a breather and slowing the pace down.

13:4644 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Tunisia have grown into the game, while Belgium's intensity has dropped a little. However, the favourites have the capacity to strike in an instant with their quality, so the African side must remain wary.

13:4442 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Tunisia win a corner down the left, forcing Boyata to make an excellent sliding block! The corner flies straight into the arms of Courtois, however.

13:4241 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Syam Ben Youssef is the second Tunisian defender to be stretchered off before half-time, and is replaced by Leicester City's Benalouane.

13:40

Is VAR working?

13:4240 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

MISS! Fakhreddine Ben Youssef tries to strike a volley at goal, but he just cuts across it too much and sends it miles wide of the target!

13:39

Bronn gets one back

13:3939 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

CHANCE! Belgium win the ball well on the right and play it to Lukaku on the edge of the box. He thinks about shooting on his left, but instead slips De Bruyne in and is inches away from the return pass inside the box, but Ben Mustapha gathers!

13:3837 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Khazri trudges back on, and play resumes, although both sides seem to be slowing things down just for the moment.

13:3636 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Worryingly for Tunisia, Khazri is down holding his ankle, and the game is stopped so he can receive some treatment.

13:3535 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Lukaku, who was briefly off the pitch to receive some treatment, has returned to the pitch as Khazri just fails to unlock the Belgium defence on the break after some clever build-up play.

13:3434 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

SAVE! Mertens gets the better of his man down the right and curls in a delightful cross that Ben Mustapha does well to get a hand to, but he fumbles it initially before pouncing on the loose ball.

13:3333 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

SAVE! Khazri pulls a nervy save out of Courtois with a swerving, curling strike from outside the box that the Chelsea shot-stopper gathers at the second attempt!

13:3229 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

What an opening half an hour this has been! Breathless stuff from both sides here.

13:3131 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

MISS! Tunsia break dangerously down the right as they catch Carrasco napping, and the cross into the box is only headed as far as Sassi, who shifts it onto his right foot and just drags an effort narrowly wide of the bottom-left corner!

13:2927 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

CHANCE! The openings are flowing thick and fast here as Tunisia play a suicidal ball out from the back that falls straight to Witsel, who perhaps picks the wrong option and smacks a deflected shot over the bar rather that picking out Lukaku!

13:2826 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

CHANCE! Lukaku is fed through as Belgium break, but his first touch is heavy and Ben Mustapha shepherds him out of play. Lukaku has to hurdle the keeper at the byline and wants a penalty, but there's nothing doing there.

13:2725 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Khazri gets to the byline and tries a rabona cross that Courtois catches! Lovely skill from the forward!

13:2522 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Bronn, the goalscorer, is down for Tunisia and it doesn't look good. His arm went up immediately to signal to the bench, and he looks certain to come off.

13:2624 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Bronn is indeed replaced at right-back by Nagguez, who will be fortunate to have as much of an impact on the game for his side as the man he replaces!

13:23

Lukaku makes it two

13:2319 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

SAVE! Carrasco works a yard and hammers a shot at goal, but Ben Mustapha palms it away. It falls kindly for Hazard on the follow-up, but he gets caught between shooting and squaring for Lukaku, and ends up not quite doing either!

13:2219 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Tunisia scored with their only shot on target against England, and have done it again here! In fact that was their first shot so far in this game!

13:2117 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Lukaku is now level with Jan Ceulemans as Belgium's record goalscorer at major tournaments with six goals! That's his third of the tournament already!

13:2018 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Khazri's set-piece delivery was enticing and dangerous, and all Bronn needed was a little flick to take it past the keeper and into the goal! This game is far from over!

13:19

What a start to this one.

Dries Mertens slid Romelu Lukaku through and the striker is devastating in that position.

He makes no mistake to double his side’s lead.

But Tunisia hit back instantly as a free-kick into the box is finished by Bronn.

Would that goal have happened if Vincent Kompany was playing?

13:1918 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

GOAL!!!!! TUNISIA PULL ONE BACK! It's now 2-1 as Bronn glances Khazri's free-kick across the keeper and into the far corner! That's come out of nowhere!

13:1816 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

Mertens capitalised on a poor touch from Maaloul and fed Lukaku well, timing his pass perfectly.

13:4316 minsMINUTE BY MINUTE

GOAL!!!! LUKAKU MAKES IT 2-0 TO BELGIUM! Mertens slips him through as the big striker peels off his marker, before arrowing a low strike right into the bottom-right corner through the legs of Syam Ben Youssef! Great goal!
